I just heard that Mr Stansfield, keyboard with the beard, has recently died. He was my amazingly inspirational music teacher in the late 60s at my junior school in London. Thank you for all you taught me.
Hardly anyone knows of them now yet they were the most creative band , talented. His voice was lush.. can't quite understand why they didn't make it big. Still play their music. 🙏⚘️⚘️⚘️🐾
I remember banging the old lady to this😅 Rare Bird along with ELP gypsy and the great Jeff Beck were my favorite groups back in the day😊 Rare Bird were and are criminally underrated thank God for KSHE radio in St Louis or I would have never heard of them😊
Box set is out containng six albums all remastered including a live performance from 1974. Beautifully put together reviewed by classic album reviews on Yt.
The most underrated band in history. Epic Forest is one of the best albums ever made and if there is a better psychedelic album than As Your My Flies By I've never heard it and I have been around for over 70 years. Thank you for posting this live recording of a truly great band.
Saw Rare Bird in 1975 supporting BJH at the Brunel Rooms in Swindon by then they had abandoned the twin keyboard set up for a 5 piece with lead guitar completely different sound from the early stuff as the title of there fifth album testifies Born Again This was the third reincarnation of the band Such a shame they didn't make it big Epic Forest is another superb album
@@markashtonrarebird1144 I will listen to M.A project. I am not a musician player but I liked the way you played drums. On the vid Beautiful scarlet, you looked great, and the other musicians too. I had one friend who looked physically the same as you. Same face same kind of body. He could nearly touch his knees while standing !! He unfortunately died at 23 in 1986. When I see this vid I think of him and good times of 70's. I can't understand why u stopped playing drums, but there are so many things I can't understand !! Thanks so much anyway for your kindness to answer.
Too little is known about this supremely talented and highly creative band. I listened to 'Somebody's Watching' on vinyl time and time again. Wasn't this the band Bob Harris had some connection with?
@@markashtonrarebird1144wow unreal. You guys along with ELP were my favorite bands back in the day. I considered you all Maestro musicians and thank God to KSHE in St Louis for turning me on to you guys😊 I still listen to and pass around The Gospel According to Rare Bird to all of these various p r o g UA-cam channels to this day😮😊
I absolutely loved these guys back in the day and there's still one of my favorite bands however they get absolutely no love from anyone not even from these UA-cam music Channel guys like Barry or Scott. Rare bird like Focus or criminally underrated😢
I LOVE Rare Bird and have all their albums...too bad this is a lip-synched performance--it from the studio recording. You can hear the acoustic piano come in at 2:21, and no one is playing it.

Back at that time I worked with his brother Roly, I remember repairing the Lesley rotating horn at work, in the BT tower London
A trick: watch movies on KaldroStream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Axel Arjun Yup, I've been using kaldrostream for years myself :D
@@nikolaigerardo1168 dawg. Shut up
Nice to hear that : )
RIP Mr. Stansfield
Rare Bird..loved these guys since 1969..that first lp was a Killer!!! All of them are musts!!
Such an underrated band, but the his voice should be remembered more .... so unusual and full of soul 🙌🌷
Gran pezzo, i Rare Bird sono stati un grande gruppo molto sottovalutato

Sorry to break your bubble 2 years later, but this performance is lip synched. That's the studio recording you hear.
Steve Gould was up there with Greg lake!! Vocally excellent!! Still a regular listen!! The first 2 LPs are incredible!!
Amazing footage! Had no idea this existed, until today.
Absolutely fantastic! I love first two albums.
You're such a great drummer.. It fits.
Thanks!
When l was a kid we listened to this album but this is the first time I saw them play it , very good.
Wow Mark, thank you for posting this unseen video footage. Great song and great performance!!
Danke. Fürs Senden ❤❤❤❤😂😂❤Danke
Great band . Have all their records. Fantastic to see this footage as so little out there!! wow!
Thanks for the compliment.
@@AshtonVeyCreations I bought Steve's records off him on ebay a few years ago. Hope you are well and the rest of the band too.

I'm close to your age and I agree both Rare Bird and gypsy are criminally underrated and blow anything away that's out nowadays.
Epic Forest is so good, I have the CD and every now and then I just have to listen to it.
Epic Forest was a fantastic album.
I just love these guys and especially this tune! Still have three pieces of vinyl. As your mind flies by is still my favorite though!
Lets hope to have more Rare Bird stuff on YT

Lucky bugger.
Nice.
Thanks for posting this incredible footage Mark! Excellent stuff :D
Genial work it's a Masterpiece
Два органа супер. Парни сделали гораздо больше, чем многие более знаменитые и удачливые. Одна из любимых пластинок ещё со школы
Thanks Mark !!!
Que bueno ver esta banda, lastima no tener el show completo, gracias una de mis bandas favoritas

Wasn't this presentation on a previous Old Grey WT show called Disco 2?
This is a version I have not heard before, definitely not from the album. I suspect it's a session recording...
Danke für den Song babe meine ersten Bilder gemacht oder gemalt Danke
Viv Savage on keys . . . . .
tolle..Platte aus .Polen ....
Tony Banks brought me here.
Glad u liked the song.
This is not the old grey whistle test, it is from Disco 2.
Turn your head around😊
Cheers.
@@markashtonrarebird1144 Rare Bird are one of my top three favorite bands right up there with Gypsy and ELP
I LOVE Rare Bird and have all their albums...too bad this is a lip-synched performance--it from the studio recording. You can hear the acoustic piano come in at 2:21, and no one is playing it.
But vocalist is singing in tv studio.
That's the fourth member Dave Kaffinett,i aka Viv Savage. Bad camera work?
That is not live.
Of course not it's live in the studio😮
Too bad this is the album recording and not live.
